About this title

About the Author:

Maria M. Meyer has been a long-time advocate of social causes, beginning with her work as co-founder of the Society for Abused Children of the Children's Home Society of Florida and founding executive director of the Children's Foundation of Greater Miami. When her father-in-law suffered a stroke in 1993, Maria became aware of the need for better information about how to care for an aging parent, a responsibility shared by millions of Americans. That experience led Maria to found CareTrust Publications and to co-author the award winning guide, The Comfort of Home: An Illustrated Step-by-Step Guide for Caregivers, earning the Benjamin Franklin Award in the health category. She is a keynote speaker and workshop leader on caregiver topics to healthcare professionals and community groups as well as a Caregiver Community Action Network volunteer in for the National Family Caregiver Association.

Review:

A masterful job of presenting the multiple aspects of caregiving in a format that is both comprehensive and reader-friendly...Physicians and hospital social workers should be familiar with the book and recommend it to families of the elderly. This book should lighten the load for anyone giving or receiving care at home. --Doody's Health Sciences Review Journal
